In a dilenma
The email. Performing arts group sounds too nice too be true. Should i join? Is that a once-in-a-lifetime chance? But i don't want to be reminded of the past...of the place...of the events...of the people...and of him in particular...Just when i've decided to delete him out of my mind, my life...this stupid email popped out in my inbox...what should i do? Risk it? I know he'll join. I'm in a dilenma...will it affect my schoolwork? Will it affect my leisure? Will it affect my future?
As i've said, it seems too good to be true...cos there are just too many uncertainties.

09 May
A great game of badminton with Meixin, Marcus and Guoyuan...so great that my right arm aches now. I can't imagine whats going to happen tmr. I thot i would be late...turned out i was late alright, but i managed to be the earliest. Lol...and lotsa thanks to Marcus for the Honey Green Tea. I would like to clarify, i'm NOT the weakest link...it obviously wasnt me and i cant really blame the guys for having great arm power and better skills. Hmph. And it's a blatantly rude thing to get ur fren to takeover when one of us just rests for a while. And its even ruder to have ur fren and ur fren's fren to takeover the court, cos we paid for it and we weren't transparent. My point is: Its only courteous to ask. We needed some rest anyway.

Recording! Cool! For 2hrs, i was living in the world of Clip! and i was Annabelle again. Its weird to be singing those songs again, but its a nice feeling. I was even amazed at how differently i sound...the voice i hear of myself and my recorded voice. And its even funnier to hear my own singing. Its quite a shy thing. :) One more song to go...the wedding song. I can't wait for the whole cd to be ready. Haha.

Marina Sq wif MS and Wilson
Left: KBox Bill; Right: Me drawn by Mingshu
The craziest thing of the month: I suggested to meet at 10am at City Hall MRT this morning and i was not late! I know that's an almost impossible thing to be...but as i've said, its "almost"... there's still that slim chance. Lol.
Broke the record for lowest bowling score: 35! Somehow i'm just proud of this most-unproud thing. Whats there to hide? Its just me...with the plain facts. You can consider me the 2nd runner-up. The 1st runner-up was Wilson, followed by our new-born Bowling Queen Mingshu. Haha. We were the 1st 3 customers of Marina Sq Super Bowl by the way. Thank us.
It was amazing how i did such an accurate estimation of time, cos it was almost 11am by the time we finished our game and we were just nice for K @ KBox. I know the previous K trip was less than a week away, but K-ing is addictive...I can't help it right?! It was a much fruitful trip as compared to the prev one and...oh yah, come to think of it, I was K-ing the same day last year, just that then was my first time K-ing and it was at Party World Intl Bldg wif Sunway pple. Happy 1-Year Anniversary. Woot! Lunch was good anyway.

Reckee trip with Meixin and Guoyuan. It was the happiest mtg i have ever had...maybe becos its so near home. Met at McDs...disucssed before we headed to Bedok to reckee the places for City Challenge. Of cos the funnest part was watching The Forbidden Kingdom. I was conned by the 2 of them tt we would be watching Iron Man instead of TFK. How gullible. Initially wanted to play badminton, but a pity all the courts were fully booked. Nice movie thou...and I wasnt referring to Iron Man. Rushed the City Challenge Draft 4...i suddenly appreciated all that Mx has done for us...and all that Zhirong hasnt been doing...I wasnt sure if i was slow or compiling a darft was actually not an easy task, cos i actually took quite some time at getting it finally done. It has always been mx doing the compilation, and me just typing the game play. This Tues-a mtg w/o mx, a mtg that zr is unsure of, a stressful mtg for me. But i believe all my efforts will pay off, cos i'm going to come up with a perfectest - if not, a nearest-to-perfect draft.
02May
Went out wif the QPeeps...for once i wasnt late...i mean i was supposed to be late, but somehow i was one of the earliest. Alighted from Train A tomeet Qifen at City Hall MRT and boarded back Train A before it could leave. Lol. Did nth much thou, just a nice-looking dinner, just some ok chilling and just some ever-shocking news, that really made me ponder, once again, how unfair life is.

Day of celebration - end of exams
Finally the end of exam...dunno wats wrong with me...so many things on my mind...neither sad nor happy, just numb. Maybe cos i think i have done badly for all my papers. In any case, one can simply take away 20 marks from every paper (except 2001 where u have to take away 87 marks instead)...without even having to look at the script. Its that bad - just take my word. The stupid mistakes made were horrendous. Horrendously horrendous...which once again led me to question the fairness of life.
The conclusion: Life is Unfair.
Made a simulated life-n-death decision today - i've decided to move out of hall this hol! 15 May 2008...the last day for me to get kicked out of hall. Lol.
Our celebration plan today was very much delayed...all thanks to yours truly...and by stupid 179 that broke down.
Its fated...that Mingshu had to wait so long. Lol. Quite paiseh thou..cos i admit that i was the snail. Went to the 99c sushi outlet today with the Mingshu,Yee Siang and Wilson @ Jurong Sports Complex...cool! Haven't eaten sushi for such a long time!!! Actually not very long also lah...say arnd 2 weeks? Lol. But somehow, i just love sushi...and the craving is almost all the time.
Then we went to sing K at the so-called family style KTV near sch...i disagree wif the "family" cos the place is too ulu...and 'eerie'...is that the right word to use? Nobody really cared abt us...right from the moment we stepped to that place, which was considerably hard to find. Being operated by ATs...one shdnt expect any high standard either. The blackout as the circuit breaker was tripped was a mini-horrifying experience due to the weird nature of the place...can u believe we were the only customers they had? I wonder w/o us...would they reallie have zero KTV customer today? Nonetheless, despite all the cui stuff...the most non-noob happenings were that they had a time-based system and that their songs were actually quite new. New but not necessarily housing all the songs we wanted (or I wanted)...but its better than nth. Anyway, havent sung so much since the last K trip at the small Katong place. Thou i didn really sound up to standard...it was a good attempt anyway. Singing wif the pple i sang wif today was overall a fun thing.
Wanted to go bowling after that...but Mingshu had to leave early...and the place was so fully booked...so 2 games of daytona and a nice dinner at M Sq foodcourt wif Yee Siang were how we concluded our day of celebration. Cooking mama and a good nite's rest are what i need most now.
I saw him yesterday at Can5...the feeling was terrible. Pardon me for my poor english standard, i'm not able to describe my feelings with the mere limited vocab that i have. In any case, its weird and not like before. Thats when i finally stop doubting myself. I have to do sth soon.

Guai Gia got a blog
Crazy thing...how true is that?! Anyway, kudos to my dear Guai Gia #01...she finally got a blog...a pity i wasnt the first few to know...but its ok...better late than never.
Went to play badminton wif mum just now...we were so energetic during the 1st 30min...after tt we started to feel shag, and started to declare which were the serves that need not be served back. Lol. How funny! if only 2nd sis were there...it would be more fun! However, we managed to drag til 1h despite our fatigue...Anyway, my point is...i've aged! My stamina has worsened! What happened to me???
I'm disappointed with myself...especially everytime i think of the stupid EE2001 paper...I really dun understand since when i've became so stupid. Or have I never been smart before? And now...i still have an upcoming paper...but i just cant concentrate. All kinds of dumb distractions at home...DS, TV, laptop, bed...what else? Everything else! I told my mum tt i really have to go back to hall very soon...and she agreed, but the main reason is why has it become lidat? When i was still in NAS and Tj, i had no hall...why was it that i could manage to study then and not now? The problem lies in me! W-H-Y??? Damn me!
I dun understand why i'm being so negative these days...the best thing is i had to console pple around me who are sad when i am sad myself...i had to encourage pple when i'm a discouraged soul...what position am i in to be doing all those? Do i detect any bit of irony? But that doesnt mean that my consolations were all null...they came from my heart. To you who are reading my blog, i'm truly encouraging you. I know the stupid papers in ur stupid school are difficult...but i'm sure u'll still do well de :)
Maybe i'm seeing the worst of life...or i shd say the worse...cos the worst i'm sure has yet to come. Haiz...

Reminiscing
Listening to the soundtrack of Death Note...all of sudden i'm reminded of the time when i first heard the song...or rather the period of time. Was it just the start of my working life then? Or was it during Christmas last year when i hung out with Swee Hoon and crapped and sang and did stupid stuff tgther? It seems like every song in my folder gives me a special feeling...cos of the timethat is being associated. Like "Stef Sun-Yu Jian"...i can still rmb vividly the fanatic moments it caused in me and lam when we were in 3E1..."Candy Lo-Zhi Shao Zou De Bi Ni Zao"...shd be a song of early Sec 3 life...i think. I know this sounds cheeeeesy...but time really flies. Haiz.
I miss all the times in NAS and Tj. Sitting at the parade square every morning...talking or studying...it didnt really matter. Its the company we had and the nice memories it left behind. Trips to school every morning then have always been enjoyable. Even lessons (other than GP) were fun...Then someone who just completed her A-levels...in search of a part-time job...looking for nice english songs...and all sorts of fun...now someone who's withered due to exams and unnecessary stresses...sometimes i feel like crying when i hear the songs i used to listen. Life was so simple and happy then...its not like its not now. But it'll never be the same.
I'm not emo-ing...cos i dont emo. I'm just reflecting on my life.

The cui papers
Its in the midst of exams...Its the toughest period i'm going through ever...dunno why...maybe there are too many flaws and according to material science, flaws are stress concentrators. Plus the consecutive papers.
Unexpected and unhappy things happened right before the start of my 1st paper...luckily it didnt really impact much...then the worst paper in my whole life...EE2001. I hated the subject from the start...a smuch as I hated and feared circuits. 2 papers on 1 day wasnt really very encouraging as well. Anyway, I was so disappointed with myself. I thot i could do the qns...end up...i got the wrong ans. The more confident with their answers the people around me were, the more demoralised and discouraged I got. At one point i nearly felt like shutting the pple around me up. I felt so stressed and unwell...but who could undstd me? When i said i might do sth foolish...i really would...if i could surmont the courage i needed. But basically i think its the thot and the meaning behind it that counts...isnt it?
Its also the 1st time i felt the unfairness of life. I have proved that 'reaping what you sow' is an absolutely invalid and stupid statement. I dont believe i put in less effort than the people around me...but i just cant fathom why they all seemed to be doing better than me. Sacrificing my sleep and everything else just to study while others can happily sleep...the next day they come telling me you need sleep before exam...come on...i'm not an idiot. But i just cant afford to sleep early when i could make use of the time revising my lect notes.
I dunno how cui it will be for this sem...but i'm prepared for the worst. No point denying the facts.

Return of my entries
OMG! Its been almost half a year since i last blogged...i'm not sure why on earth am i making a comeback now when i should be spending my time with...my lecture notes! Lol. I know why...all because of my dear Geraldine's post abt our gathering...that served as a mini motivation. Yep! On 29 March we had a gathering...to celebrate the return of Eliza...Haha. The feeling was great of cos, esp for me since i donned my tj uniform, which i'm ever so proud of...My point is WE SEEMED TO BE STILL THE SAME despite the many changes that we know have taken place! Even the food in the hawker centre opposite tasted....the same? In any case, its cool! Haha.
Alright man, things have been changing and everything's moving on at the speed of light...no point making backdated entries cos theres just too much to be posted...maybe one day when i have the time...i might be updating this not-so-updated blog again. Haha...

Updates
Heh...since when blogging has been a monthly affair sia. Haha, but I guess it doesnt matter anyway. Over the past few weeks, I have cleared many tests and joined many stuff. Lets see. I've been accepted into Havoc as programmer, QP as a cast member and I have also joined Sing N Strum and Xinyao. I think this is suicide, but things havent get into full gear yet, so I guess its still ok. Finally no test this week. Phew. I think I'm reallie suffering from a serious case of lack-of-sleep...it was also my first time that night talking to my fren till 4.15am. Crazy us. Haha.
30Sept, I went to sing K wif the usual pple but this time, wif 2 new members. Yeah! Frankly speaking, my heart really sank when I first stepped into the place. It was disappointing in terms of the room size and the songs. In addition, I guessed we were still not used to the envt, I felt really bad. Thou the others didn blame me, but I could tell they held back their comments ba. I guess the next K trip, I wont want to be organising liao.
07Oct, I went Orchard with Hei to complete our 'mission'. It was fun and all I can say is that changing of clothes is shack and I can really understand how the singers felt when they had to change at the speed of light during concerts. After that we met up with Jason for supper. It was ok other than the rude awakening that was caused by shes-who-shall-not-be-named. Anyway, we didnt know their names too. So cant name also. Haha. After that, we had a great deal of fun at the nameless Laselle School of the Arts. Haha.
Fri night I went dancing with Hei @ Esplanade. I'm quite amazed at myself cos I have never been into dancing and for those who know me, they all knew I cant dance. Physically and literally. But somehow after Insinyur, I found dancing really not that tough afterall. Perhaps it was the stupid moves of the NAS Choir Musical that made dancing seemed...stupid. Haha. Insinyur'08...I'm in charge of mass dance anyway.
Yesterday I went shopping. It was really shiok. I spent $50 in a short period of 1h. =P No comments lah hor. Haha.
Yeah, this is the last week of lab. Which means to say, I MANAGED TO SURVIVE 2 LABS!!!!! It wasnt that bad actually, not taking into account the lab report week which was like hell. But other than that, its actually pretty ok. Haha. Its either no lab or 2071 next sem. See how lor. Wahaha...

Long time no post
I just realised its been eons since I have last posted. So many things have happened since then. Sch started, I've shifted and adapted and now the long awaited break is finally nearing. Hall camp was fun, but not as fun as Insinyur...maybe cos of the pple ba. Sch's started and its both busy and slack...as in apparently its a packed timetable, but I think i still can manage...thou I can feel myself being seriously worn out at times. But I think comparing myself wif pple in US like Kennot who's busy chasing shadows and Bornfree, who's been busy sleeping while his good fren is slogging, I'm considered slacker. At least I still can manage to squeeze a couple of hours of sleep while they can barely do so.
Tmr Eliza's leaving for UK...sometimes I really do qn myself if I have made the right choice to come NTU instead of going somewhere else. And this feeling was esp intense when Grace came to crash lectures a few weeks ago. I mean of cos it hadnt cross my mind before that I would want to go overseas or NUS, but NTU is really not as fantastic as I used to imagine. Things really are different when u experience it yourself.
Then there of cos the concern abt whether I can get enuf points to buy myself a place in hall. Hall 5 is actually quite ok...not as bad as the words of mouths that I heard. In any case, its definitely not the worst. But of cos, there are better halls. Back to the issue, points. What the heck. Thou i definitely would very much prefer staying at my own home, travelling is shack. Even if u get to sit and sleep throughout the MRT journey, its still tiring. Haiz.
Finally - him. I dunno wat to say but I'm very sure he's not the one. I like to talk, but u cant expect me to talk all the time. And if u are a listener, even if u are a superb one, there are times when u really have to do the talking. I was already so sick that day and he couldnt tell...and the whole meet-up made me felt even more sick. I have never combed 2 shopping malls within 30mins, neither have I not-enjoy shopping to such an extent before. I was very certain it was a gone case kinda situation, but apparently he didnt seem to agree wif my thots. Double haiz. I really hope his trip to TW would make him forget abt me. Cos I really cant bring myself to break the news to him. I feel so bad.
Ok, its time to mug. Tmr's life science quiz and I'm far from done wif my revision.
Ciao.

Haircut day
Went to cut my hair today. So sian. I've kept my hair for so so so long, then now have to cut it short, looks a bit weird thou. Went Sakae Sushi for lunch and Best Denki to check out some laptops and hairdryer. Yah, so I bought a new hairdryer. And as for the laptop, I was extremely reluctant to buy the display set. So I guess that had to be put on hold again. Argh! This is so mind-occupying.

Farewell Gifts
Yest I brought chocolate that I bought for the Sunway pple, as a token of appreciation for their guidance all the while. Frankly speaking, I have really enjoyed myself here. Although the pay is just so-so, the pple here are generally nice.
This morning Hei gave me presents. OMG. Necklace and dangling earrings. They are so nice! And it was the combined effort of Chan, Jason and Hei (and Li Chia and Rosie) that made the gifts possible. I am so touched!!! And not to mention Chan's personal gifts as well for spoiling my ring. Haha. Wonderful gifts.

I guess none of them would be reading my blog, but in any case, I really would like to express my heartfelt thanks to them. Thanks friends.

Mind Cafe Treat
So I treated some of my colleagues to dinner at Mind Café - $95.90. Ok lah, I was expecting the bill to be over 100 bucks, so anything less is a bonus. Initially, I wasn’t happy when pple told me that they couldn’t make it. I don’t know, but it just didn’t feel good.
When we reached Mind Café, it was around 7.20pm. The time started ticking from 7.45pm and we played for 2+1 hours. At least we managed to play 4 games in all – Uno Stacko, Heart Attack, Uno and Monopoly. Well, it was fun and thrilling indeed. Heart attack was the most disastrous, with tea spilling, hands knocking against the table top, finger nails scratching palms, cards flying all over the place and ring falling apart. Haha. Monopoly was equally enjoyable as pple bought any land they land on, and pple like Chan going out of jail and going back immediately again, and pple like Hei having to mortgage her cottage just to get money to pay me. Haha.
Talk abt the food, we ordered 2 Chicken Platter and 2 Boat Quay Fisherman (Fish & Chips). The serving size was humongous and we were all very full when we managed to clear the mian course. I really felt like giving up the dessert, but ate it still, anyway. Yummy!

Finally I’m blogging again. Actually i have been so lazy to blog ever since I came back from OBS cos there were so many things to blog abt. But anyway, I’ll be resigning this coming Sat and after that I'll be going for the NTU eng camp next week, so I might as well quit. Frankly speaking, of cos I hate to leave, but I think it takes time for conflicts to arise and I’m afraid that I’ll involved in some of those conflicts if I were to stay longer,. So its still better to leave while the picture is still rosy.
For the past few weeks, it’s been really busy cos of she-who-shall-not-be-named. But all thanks to her, I got to earn some OT pay, so that’s like better than nth. Now that I’ve finally cleared all the work, its back to easy life again. Actually I don’t really mind lah, money can’t buy rest, so I rather take the rest.
Anyway, I’ll be going Mind Café tonight for the 2nd time, but wif a different bunch of pple. Lets see how it turns out.

The 2nd K at Party World Int’l Bldg on 07July07 (the lucky day, as they say). The first was on 05May07. Anyway, I was supposed to reach at 7pm, but as usual, I’m hardly early. Eventually we went in at 7.30pm. Pple present were me, Hei, Chan, Jason and his fren. I’m glad this time round the guys got to sing more. And the funniest was when Chan sang Hello by Lionel Rich. I was trying to hold back my laughter until I saw Hei laughing. That’s when I really exploded. It was so funny. Haha, I know I shouldn’t laugh at pple for singing out of tune and out of beat, but…haha.
In the middle of the session, Hei and I went out to buy sth. The guys asked me to buy water for them at Isetan Scotts, but who knows that the K pple actually saw and came into our room and OFFERED to safe keep our water. Stupid! He even attempted to take away my OWN water too. But I refused to let him do so. What a wet blanket!
11.30pm K ended. We paid $23 each. It was time for supper. I wanted to eat prata, but Hei wanted to eat beancurd. In the end, we settled for porridge. So we headed to Chinatown for porridge. It was cute to see Hei perspiring like mad while eating. I wonder why I wasn’t hot at all. I guess my receptors just weren’t sensitive enuf. Haha. Reached home at 1.30am.

DSTA Award Ceremony
After practising the 3 stupid songs - Stand By Me, Bring Me To Life and Shou Qian Shou, its finally the day of our performance. I took half day and was supposed to reach Orchard Hotel by 1.30pm. But cos I went home for lunch, i was late when i reached the hotel. Nothing much at first, as it was just rehearsal. Just that eventually I was made the conductor for Stand By Me.
The award ceremony was just like any ceremony. Minister Teo C H was tall of cos, and wow, the handshake that we had was esp firm. Pple were all surprised when i put on my make-up and changed into my formal outfit. Why? I look so weird meh? Haha.
The only disappointment I had that night was seeing my long-dist cousin over at the ceremony. I don't know how I should put it..well, he's supposed to be very smart, but in the end, he ended up getting the same scholarship as I did. So what does this imply? Either I'm as smart as him or he's become as stupid as me. In any case, next year's CNY i dont expect to hear anymore show-offs about her son, the Great. Neither do I wish to hear anymore newsflash about her sis's son from my auntie's bro. And i must admit that he and his gf are really a compatible pair. In their own way. Haha. By the way, this cousin of mine is my dad's auntie's son. Or rather dad's auntie's husband's son. And this would mean a diff surname altogether. So, we are not close. And any effort to shrink our distance is fruitless. And just a disclaimer, just because he's in RJ doesnt mean that he's better than me cos nobody could outperform a 6-pointer. I CHOSE NOT TO GO TO RJ, not to engage myself with the competitive rat-race with the other elites.
Then the performance. I could safely say that Bring Me To Life was ok, but the Stand By Me was really...i guess the starting note wasn't started right lah. And apparently, not everyone followed my beat as I conducted. But i think everyone has put in their best effort. Afterall, who would want to make a fool of themselves in front of hundreds of audience and many GOHs and VIPs. Shou Qian Shou was the song that won the most applause and I think the other items of cos were defintitely much better than our singing item. But we were featured on the news leh...Haha.
The food was ok, though I didnt eat much as I spent most of the time taking photos with the gang. Yeah, i even took with the minister. Haha. I felt guilty not accompanying my parents and asking them to go back 1st. But that was because I didnt want to waste their time waiting for me while i take photos with the others. I didnt want to feel pressurised as well, afterall, its MY NIGHT. Haha.
I went back at around 9pm plus with Ken. During the walk to the MRT Station, we sort of promised not to sing Stand By Me ever again. Haha.

Back to work
After 3 days of leave, I'm finally back in office. What a great feeling it was. According to Rosie, pple were all wondering where i went to. Sam even commented that how could i resign w/o telling him. Haha. Its nice to see Kwong and Soh again, thou Kwong kept on reminding me of the lots of work I had to do. But he did share to me abt his army life and the OBS experiences of his 2 daughters. The day was short.
I actually intended to go down to Plaza Singapura to buy my Creative charger, but it was so hot and i was so tired that I slept all the way from 3pm-8pm. Jason, who was supposed to accompany me, was no better either, as he slept til 7pm plus. Haha, I guess we were both tired and the hot weather was simply made for sleeping. I just hope that it wouldnt be that hot for the next few days, if not i would definitely be sunburnt, which is the last thing i'm looking fwd to.
There are so many things to pack. So many worries, so many uncertainties. Sigh.

DSTA 3-day Workshop
These 3 days seemed to be very very far, but all of a sudden, they are here!
06 Jun 07
1st day of workshop at Hol Inn. I made many many new frens and of cos, the gals at my table were nice. The talk was conducted in a ballroom, so cool. It wasnt long before we got to have the 1st tea break.
The talks were boring and the lunch was quite stressful. Cos we had to lunch with the pple from the management, and our buddies and mentors. It turned out that my Gerry during the Assessment (Centre) was the senior manager of DSO and my management of the table (Table 11). And as usual, I wasnt paying attn to the talks, so when I was called for an interview, i couldnt ans one of the questions posed. Haha.
Then was the ice breaker. Not as boring as I thot cos there were activities for us to do. Time passed very fast before things came to an end. Anyway, I was the QC Manager for the upcoming talent showcase and part of the singing group as well. I hope it would be slack, cos I still have to work.
07 Jun 07
The talk that i have been looking forward to - Social Graces & Etiquette. There were 3 speakers- Coach Luke, Coach Kelvin and Coach Cindy. The talk was interesting except the parts by Coach Kelvin, which was extremely dry and boring. I guess it was becos of the minimal interaction and his funny accent. I was passing notes ard the table. I was called to the front, where Coach Luke analysed the way I dressed. He said that I'm a detailed and elaborate dresser, and I was quite doubtful. I was just being myself. Coach Cindy was beautiful of cos, if not she wouldnt be crowned Miss Singapore Vogue 2005/06. I managed to take a photo wif her, hehe. We were taught how to walk, sit, stand, dress, etc. Beneficial.
OBS Briefing by Miss Vivian Wong was last. Thats when I first knew of the ugly and scary details of OBS.
08 Jun 07
The fun-nest day of all, cos I got to go down to SHATEC for wine appreciation, dining etiquette and cooking classes. I was lucky to get a seat from Tampines, maybe cos it was still early.Andof cos, i slept all the way. I was 5 min late.
Dining etiquette was first. We were taught from making reservations to the real dining etiqutte. We even got practicals during lunch when we we were served a 4-course Western meal. We tasted 5 kinds of wine- 1 champagne, 2 red and 2 white wines. It was fun and interesting and of cos funny to see the faces turning red. Luckily I wasnt one of them. I finally understood the steps of actual wine tasting and the things to look out for in wines.'
Before our cooking class was a demo 1st. It was just a simple demo and I was mainly looking forward to the actual hands-on. I paired up wif Koon Seng and it was hard at 1st as the frying pan seemed to be too hot at first. We did some planning by cooking the Chicken stew which required the most time, first, followed by the sphagetti and fired rice. It seems like the fried rice was the easiest, yet we managed to burnt the red sausages to black coal almost immediately. Haha, the pan was too hot. We were fast as we used a lot of pots and pans, but we had a hard time washing too. Haha.
Though messy and stuffy, it was fun. The food? A bit too oily and salty. Haha.
